Thais happy to see King

Meanwhile, almost 90 per cent of the respondents said they wanted political figures to solve the nation’s problems using the Royal Development Projects as examples and guidelines.
Assumption University’s Academic Network for Community Happiness Observation and Research’s research director, Noppadon Kannika, said the level of happiness for people’s loyalty for the monarchy was 9.25 and the happiness for the love and gratitude to the country was 9.21 points out of 10.
While the survey was conducted with 1,114 households nationwide, the indepth interview found most of the family members were tearful with joy to have seen His Majesty in good health, Noppadon said. Meanwhile, as a result of watching the programme, children in primary school level had developed their loyalty to the monarchy and accordingly felt their love for the country just as their parents, who joined watching the programme, had.
Noppadon said 93.4 per cent of the respondents said they hoped to see a peaceful and happy society under the King, 86 per cent said they expected harmony among the people and 80 per cent expected national unity.
As for what they expected from politicians, over 77 per cent of the respondents said they wanted politicians to stop quarrelling and almost 76 per cent said they wanted corruption eradicated.
